Without the understanding of our spiritual origin and destiny - of who we are and what purpose our maker intended for us - we can't possibly understand sex and its intended role in our lives. Instead, all we have driving us are the desires, the physical and emotional "needs," cravings, and compulsions we find welling up from within us.
Sometimes these desires are normal, the kind of sexual attraction to the opposite gender that God ordained, leading to bonding and marriage and children. But for some of us, our sexual cravings are rooted in trauma, that is, generated from our emotional reactions to the cruelty, confusion, and seduction we've experienced along the path of life. Remember, pain causes us to seek the relief of pleasure.
